SOSPIRO returns to Old St Pauls for another entry in their Hot Chocolate series of late concerts. Rameau’s stunning motet In Convertendo takes centre stage, framed by works by Bach, Vivaldi and Geminiani.

An event causing great excitement within Sospiro, we are proud to present Bach’s mighty B minor Mass in a joint concert with the Scottish Chamber Choir. Come and join us in this rendition of one of the most famous baroque masses of all time.

Continuing our programme of Bach works, SOSPIRO is proud to present a selection of cantatas to fill your evening, as well as a chance for our orchestra to come to the fore in Bach’s second Brandenburg concerto.

In the spring we begin our fourth season of concerts, the highlight of which will be our first performance of J.S. Bach’s monumental B-minor Mass, as well as our first foray into the world of period instruments, with a programme that continues our survey of cantatas by Bach and Buxtehude. Check back in the New Year for a complete programme!
